Now, more than ever, we’re looking for some comfort, and if that comfort comes in the literal form of a woven wall hanging, all the better (we’ve never been keen on metaphorical comfort anyhow). Maryanne Moodie’s breaths comfort and chic into the living room.

Inspired by the intricacies of vintage textiles, traditional costuming, and modern art, as well as the natural world, her work is both sophisticated and organic. But what really stands out is her unexpected color combinations, making the overall design pack a punch.

Working between Melbourne and Brooklyn, NY, Moodie divides her time between designing and creating woven wall hangings, developing weaving kits, and teaching sold-out workshops across the world. “Weaving is something that I am passionate about and get great pleasure from, and so I am able to use my expertise in education to share this passion with others,” she shared in an interview with Diary of a Smart Chick. “The love and inspiration and energy that I get from my students is the most important part in moving this craft forward and creating newness.”

Her work has also gained a cult following of sorts, amassing more than 120k followers on Instagram, and featured in publications like New York MagazineAnthology, and O Magazine. Thankfully, you can also purchase her woven pieces on Etsy. Moodie also offers DIY kits so you can weave a wall hanging yourself (God knows you have the time).

What happens when you find an abundant natural resource – and use it irresponsibly? This is a question that has been bothering many people in recent years, but in Ice Pepper, it’s not people who are exploiting this resource, but penguins!

In this short CGI animation, we follow two entrepreneurial penguins as they find a treasure in the Arctic: crates upon crates of… red hot chili peppers! And with the Arctic being so cold, the hot peppers become a precious commodity.

As the penguins hand them out to their friends – for a price – the holes the peppers burn through the ice sheets grow larger, and cause an unexpected problem.

Is this a parable for real-life events? You be the judge – but one thing that isn’t debatable is that the animation is gorgeous, quirky – and really, really funny.

Disposable, Biodegradable Cutlery That Leaves No Trace After 240 Days https://mobispirit.com/disposable-biodegradable-cutlery-that-leaves-no-trace-after-240-days/ Sun, 24 Feb 2019 06:00:38 +0000 https://mobispirit.com/?p=5500 Who doesn’t love avocados?

Who doesn’t love avocados? They’re healthy, tasty, and it seems like they instantly improve any salad, toast, sandwich, sushi roll or burger they happen to be introduced to. NASA even went on record saying that if they could only equip their astronauts with just one type of produce, it would be avocados, thanks to their many beneficial properties! So, it’s no wonder that avocado consumption is on the rise, worldwide. One of the world’s major avocado suppliers is Mexico, which can lay claim to nearly %45 of all avocados grown worldwide.

But ever industry has its wasteful byproducts – and in the avocado industry’s case, it’s mostly – you guessed it! – avocado pits.

Enter Biofase, a Mexican company who have made it their mission to create bioplastic, biodegradable products made from avocado seeds.

These include cutlery and straws, which are completely reintegrated into the environment after 240 days, without leaving any toxic trace behind.

Biofase collect avocado seeds from companies that process avocados in order create guacamole or avocado oil, and use them as raw material for their products.

You can check out some of their goods below!
